We are in the general vicinity known as Mrs Macquarie's Chair. It looks like two hundred years later another lady is enjoying a seat in the sun.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
Mrs Macquarie would get a shock if she could see that area now.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder what the city was like before it became one. Julie does a good job of showing some of its evolution.
DeleteA great juxtaposition of man-made versus the natural world.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about this shot is that I never noticed the building until I was processing the photos, I was just interested in taking a quick snap of the lady. In fact, that building is a bit of a mystery to me ... I don't remember ever having seen it before.
DeleteBut I did good job of framing it without noticing it didn't I!
It's the place to sit in Sydney, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis area is certainly one of my favourite spots. I love the juxtaposition of the gardens and the waterscape.
